Bishop Bobby Hilton, president of Cincinnati chapter of the National Action Network, spoke to WLWT News 5 TODAY's Jonathan Hawgood from Washington D.C. on the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington.

Hundreds of thousands joined Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the National Mall and marched on Washington as part of a demonstration for freedom and civil rights 50 years ago.

Ohio state Rep. Alicia Reece spoke at the March on Washington anniversary event Saturday.

“We’re worried about everyone having a chance at the American dream. No more voter suppression, throwing away ballots and voter ID laws. Today we call for a constitutional amendment for a voter bill of rights to be put on the ballot in states across this country, kicking it off in Ohio in 2014,” Reece said.

Bishop Bobby Hilton, president of Cincinnati chapter of the National Action Network, also spoke about voter fraud at Saturday's event.

“Most (cases) will not be investigated. All of them will go home, except for a 58-year-old African American grandmother by the name of Melowese Richardson, who had been caring for her sister in a coma for over four years. She was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary,” Hilton said.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans are expected to attend the anniversary events, including hundreds from the Tri-state area.

Those who could not make it to Washington are still able to see a special commemorative exhibit at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center with items from the march.

The event was put on by Rev. Al Sharpton and the National Action Network.

Another march and ceremony will take place Wednesday and President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
